Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyer Speaks About His Apology To Buhari And Igbo Elders

The latest on so many social media platforms is the untrue report by the Nigerian newspapers that Nnamdi Kanu has offered an unreserved apology to President Buhari and Igbo Elders over libellous statements he made on Radio Biafra which resulted to his arrest since October 14th, 2015 even though the court has discharged and acquitted him after couple of court proceedings, yet the DSS refused to obey the court order instead brought a fresh five-count charge of Treasonable Felony and still detain him.

Now the news of Nnamdi Kanu apologizing to Buhari and Igbo Elders that his lawyer, Vincent Obetta found disturbing and has come open to clear the air with a chilling fact that the leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) made no such attempt whatsoever to offer an apology be it written or verbal to President Buhari or Igbo Elders.

MAY30.ORG-“It is not true,” he said. “The government is using every instrument to puncture what we are doing.” The Department of State Services (DSS) arraigned Kanu in court in October. Shuaibu Usman, presiding over the chief magistrate court, Wuse zone 2, Abuja, had earlier discharged him on all counts of criminal conspiracy and ownership of an unlawful society brought against him by the federal government. The federal government then filed a fresh five-count charge of treasonable felony against Kanu, after Adeniyi Ademola, a justice of the federal high court, Abuja, ordered the DSS to release him “unconditionally”.

In his ruling, Ademola held that the continued detention of Kanu by the DSS was unlawful, since the accused was yet to be charged on suspicion of terrorism. Speaking before the federal high court the following day, Kanu said he has lost confidence in the court’s abilities to give an order and have the authorities follow it, asking the court to leave him in detention. “I will rather remain in detention than subject myself to a trial that I know amounts to perversion of justice,” he had said.
